Fuzzing is a technique where you automagically generate input values for your functions to find bugs

Fuzzing is being released as part of the standard library in Go 1.18. It is a pretty cool way of locating bugs in your code that you never thought of. I know many bugs have been found in the standard library in Go by people using third-party fuzzers.
